Falcons MLB Deion Jones (foot) is a "full go" for Week 13 against the Ravens.

Coach Dan Quinn said Jones "won't be on a specialized snap count" at home Sunday. It's been a few weeks coming for Atlanta's premier man up the middle, as he was close to playing the past two games against the Cowboys and Saints. Even if less than 100%, Jones' presence alone helps shore up the Falcons' leaky coverage issues against opposing running backs and tight ends. Note that this game initially opened with the Ravens as road favorites (-2), but has since swung 3.5 points in favor of the Falcons (-1.5). Fri, Nov 30, 2018 01:31:00 PM

Coach Dan Quinn said the Falcons "hope" Deion Jones (foot) will play Week 13 against the Ravens.

Jones appeared close to playing last week, but the Falcons decided to play it safe. Barring any setbacks, it sounds like he will return this week. Jones has been out since injuring his foot in the season opener. Thu, Nov 29, 2018 12:54:00 PM

Jones was close to suiting up Sunday, but the team opted to hold him out. The Falcons will again err on the side of caution Thanksgiving night and sit Jones for one more week. His absence is tremendous news for both Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram. Thu, Nov 22, 2018 07:50:00 PM

It is the second safety the Falcons have lost for the season in the first three games after Keanu Neal suffered an ACL tear in Week 1. Atlanta was already struggling on defense, especially covering opposing running backs out of the backfield, and this injury is not going to help. Jordan Richards played in Allen's spot after he exited, but the Falcons could look to bring someone in. Rumors of an Earl Thomas trade refuse to go away, and he would be a plug-and-play option in former DC Dan Quinn's defense. Eric Reid also remains a free agent.
